As canon? As canon it was killed twice. Then there's the other time when Galactus nearly killed it but spared do to Roma, Death, and Watcher's plead. That's the canon Phoenix Force: vulnerable, killable, and owned. Nice try, even the bio confirms that it's been beaten.
By canon the Phoenix Force has never ever been killed. An avatar has had their physicality destroyed, but so what? Means nothing to the Force. By canon as stated, demonstrated and depicted on panel the Force itself, the mutable, indestructible and immortal life force that it is has never ever been destroyed.
Your mentor attempted to build a case for the Force nearly being destroyed in that Excalibur issue as well despite that point neither being stated or demonstrated on panel. As you can see from actually reading both the thread and the relevant comic (as well as actually taking heed of canon for once), not only was he contradicted on panel, but what he threw my way as evidence when properly read only served to strengthen my case:

In other words he failed.
